  • "200 nautical miles, fast and uncomfortable... you ready for this?" Kai and John come up with an idea to foil across the Kaua'i Channel on John's 18' cat. But first they gotta get Kai trained up on the boat, and figure out if it's even possible. It's a multi day mission, pushing their limits, and culminating in a launch from John's front door on the North Shore of Oahu, to Hanalei Bay, Kauai. And back... maybe.

    I don't usually use the word "epic", but this was truly epic on so many levels! How the hell is Erik getting some of those shots, like the one near beginning with sun shining through sails, from underneath?! He's a wizard. And I love this combination of John and Kai, hope they do more together. They are a really good fit for collaborating. Favorite line " did we tighten that one?" As they sail out 😅

    This is one of the best sailing films out there. Accurately shows the realities of a high performance foiling boat, the thrills of foiling, and the learning curve. Also incredibly cinematic.

    It's refreshing that John does things his own way while providing content. Even the way he titles his videos is his own way instead of copying a format.

    Yeah I got old and started sailing and it's kinda a similar feel. Being at one with the boat and the wind and when it just picks up and goes it's a great feeling. I think it's just being at one with nature and working with something you can't control. Great vid.

    Kai- A Go Pro would really bring ‘Pursuing Balance Through Adventure’ to a whole new level regarding, getting others to get off the couch and enjoy nature: backpacking, hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, and sailing, in other words ‘Pursuing Balance Through Adventure’. Don’t we all need a little balance in our crazy lives? Love the Foiling! When the Nacra Carbon Full Foiling Catamaran first came to California I got to join a group where everyone was a least a National Champion, and spend the day. So frick’n cool!
